What it costs

The source gives an urgent action rather than a purchase or treatment price: call 9-1-1 right away when you think a heart attack may be happening.

What you get

NHLBI lists chest and upper body pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, sweatiness, and nausea as heart attack symptoms. It says to call 9-1-1 right away and that acting fast can save your life.

Notes

Women often experience different symptoms of a heart attack. This is emergency guidance, not a diagnosis; call 9-1-1 when you think you or someone else may be having a heart attack.
